Germany PHYNIX surfix Coating Thickness Gauge Probe type
According to different measuring principles, PHYNIX offers various probe types:
The F-probe (ferromagnetic - blue nozzle) using the magnetic induction measuring method (DIN EN ISO 2808/2178 and ASTM B499) is used for measuring magnetic substrates such as iron and steel.
The N probe (non-ferromagnetic - yellow nozzle) using the eddy current method (DIN EN ISO 2808/2360 and ASTM D1400) is used to measure non-magnetic conductive base materials such as aluminum, zinc, copper, etc.
FN probe (combination probe - green nozzle), suitable for measuring magnetic and non-magnetic substrates such as iron/steel and non-ferrous metals. Automatic selection of the suitable measuring principle for the substrate.
standard probe
All of our standard probes for layer thickness measurement have a hard, wear-resistant measuring stem that ensures a very long service life. The probes are designed for measuring ranges up to 1,500 μm. Measurements are possible using the magnetic induction measuring method and the eddy current method:
For non-destructive coating thickness measurement on steel, the magnetic induction principle is used. Coatings need to be non-magnetic - eg, varnish, paint, enamel, plastic, glass, aluminum, lead, chrome, copper, brass, zinc, tin, etc.
The eddy current principle enables non-destructive coating thickness measurements on non-magnetic metallic substrates, eg. Aluminum, aluminum alloy, lead, bronze, copper, brass, zinc, die-cast zinc, tin. Coatings to be tested need to be electrically insulating; for example, varnishes, paints, enamels, plastics, glass, anodized coatings and ceramics
The plastic feet on the bottom of the probe are additionally provided with V-grooves. Thus, vertical positioning on cylindrical or curved surfaces is facilitated. With optional thermal measurement mounting feet, coatings up to 150°C can be measured. A high-temperature base is also available as an accessory, allowing measurements even on surfaces up to 300°C.

special probe
Special probes for coating Thickness Gauges can measure unusual coatings on many different base materials. Choose from seven models according to application and requirements designed as F probe (magnetic induction), N probe (eddy current) or FN combination probe (both principles):
| probe style | Probe introduction |
 | Probe FN 1.5 / 90° The tube probe has a measuring range of 0 - 1,500 μm. Especially suitable for coating thickness measurement in holes, pipes and grooves. With this probe, coating thickness measurements in difficult-to-access areas are possible with high measurement accuracy. The newly developed deflection suspension of the sensor head results in very small measurement uncertainties and high reproducibility of measured values. For measuring iron/steel and non-ferrous metals. Pipe probe with a measuring range of 0-1,500 μm. Specially developed for layer thickness measurement in holes, pipes and grooves. With an immersion depth of Ø13 mm and an insertion length of 165 mm, high-precision coating thickness measurements are also possible in hard-to-reach locations. Very low measurement uncertainty and high reproducibility are achieved by the elastic mounting of the sensor head. For measuring steel and non-ferrous metals |
 | Probe FN 1.5R Rectangular probe with a measuring range of 0 - 1,500 μm. The rectangular position of the sensor head enables measurements in hard-to-reach areas. For measuring iron/steel and non-ferrous metals |
 | Probe F 1.5R Rectangular probe with a measuring range of 0 - 1,500 μm. The rectangular position of the sensor head enables measurements in hard-to-reach areas. For measuring iron/steel |
 | Probe FN 3.5 Rectangular probe, measuring range from 0 - 3,500μm to iron/steel and 0 - 3,000μm non-ferrous metals. Also used for measurements in hard-to-reach areas. |
 | Probe F 3.5 Probes with a measuring range of 0 - 3,500 μm covering common measuring tasks. For measuring iron/steel |
 | Probe F 10 Rectangular probe with large measuring range 0 - 10 mm. For measuring iron/steel. |
